To the Editor of the Eagle
The same scene that took place on North
Market street last summer when Biting
Bros. were building, is being reenacted. Mr..
Mr.. Linneger, who is excavating for his
building north of the Fechheimer corner in
tends to build on line with the Fecheimer
block, which will narrow the street nearly
four feet and materially disfgure the beauty
of the same. In view of the fact that Mark
ct is destined at no great length of time to be
the equal of Main street, we think great care
should be taken in the location Of the perma-
nent buildings.
We submit that our city authorities should
not permit he arbitrary dictation of proper
ty owners to the disadvantage of their
neighbors and against the public good, by
placing their buildings in the right of way.
Clearly, and without doubt, some are aud
more will be erected where they ought not
to be if the authorities do not interfere
Someday these buildings may have to be re-
moved, OF set back in their proper places at
great cost. Why not do the thing right be-
fore it is too late z. KNOBLAUCE,

taking in strip near fifteen miles wide. In

the sun and the people feel very much dis
couraged over the situation.

WICHITA'S WELL WISHER.

Ali the same the numerous trains from every
point Of the compass will come and go, and
on forever. A union depot is convenience
to the public, we grant, and also something
in the way of an advertisement in that or
impressing those who merely pass through.
But our friend will please permit US to sug-
gest that the average traveller will, in max
ing connection, hang around union depot
mortal knows rather than take turn around
or to go to the expense of hiring a hack to
see the town while waiting for his train.
With the depots scattered all about town the
traveller who changes cars is compelled 10
ia Ike ride and see the city at his own ex-
pense. Besides with depots scattered about
a great number Of hacks and buses are sup
por ted, they and their horses and drivers,
and at the expense of the trav
ing public. These add life and stir
to our streets, which costs us nothing. Scat
tered freight depots keep up transfer lines
and teams, etc. Another thing in the inter
est of the town is afforded by scattered de-
pots; every road is compelled not only to
keep its own salaried ticket sellers and bag
gage men and telegraph operators, all going
to swell population and sustain good citizens
at the expense of Tia railroads. but each road
is compelled to keep an up town office under
the management of paid agents which rents,
and whose pay comes from the railroads
While these are not all the advantages to be
enumerated On the side of scattered depots, |
they are enough to show our friend that |
there are two sides to the question. |

A UNION DEPOT.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

DEAR SIR am comparatively a strapg-
er here in the Peerless Princess" and feel
that IL would be gall, to this people, for me
to dictate policy But you are certainly
overlooking a matter OF the greatest 1mpor-
lance to this great city in not having one of
the finest union depots in the west built here.
Don't allow depots to be scattered all over
the city-except to the accommodation of and
convenience for handling freight. What a
grand impression is created on the minds OF
new corners when they are handed dow / in
the midst of trains arriving from Chicago,
ST. Louis, Gulf of Mexico, Indian Territory
Denver San Francisco Eight trains come
ing in and going out morning and evening,
with others In the near future. Before any
of the roads build why not urge this idea of
one for all. 1t is cheaper, more convenient.
for all roads and travelling public. After
the different roads have built, 1t Will be TO
late and we are on the eve of their all build
ing. One hundred thousand dollars could
not be expended in advertising this city so
favorably as in a union depot. 1t creates
favorable impressions on arriving, also on
departing from the city, and is something
every good citizen is proud to talk OF, our
union depot. Mr.. Murdoch | know you are
Wichita's staunchest of supporters and build
ers and think you will give this thing pub
licity and agitate 1t to consumation. | hear
it talked of on all sides of, how Important
such an improvement is, and L believe 1t only
requires some good man to take the lead, as
what is eveybodGies business Is noboddles,
and carry this to success.
